Quizlet


Hiya! I've made a Quizlet today and I would like to share it with you.

We all want apps to offer something new and innovative. We all want an extra layer of engagement in the classroom through the use of tech. But, above all, it needs to be simple enough that we can actively embed it in the first place. Quizlet is a simplistic app that takes seconds to get to grips with. Ultimately, it is an app that enables children and teachers to create digital ‘study sets’ or ‘flash cards’. You simply type in your questions or ‘Terms’ and your answers or ‘Definitions’. These resources can then be engaged with and shared in a number of ways. The set up is ridiculously simple.  source


Here is my Quizlet abaout some linguistic terms :)

Pixton



Hello! Today I've made a short comic using
Pixton. Pixton allows us to create avatars
looking like us and using those avatars in
comics. It also enables us to share them
with our students. Students can also
create their avatars and comics. It was
pretty fun to make comics of my own.

Here is the short comic I've made :)


Storybird

Seesaw


Hi people! I learned about a platform called Seesaw and I would like to share it with you. Seesaw is a platform for student engagement. Teachers can empower students to create, reflect, share, and collaborate. Students “show what they know” using photos, videos, drawings, text, PDFs, and links. It’s simple to get student work in one place and share with families, and nothing is shared without teacher approval. It is also suitable for all age groups. 

You can see an example of my own Seesaw activity for 12th graders by clicking the link below.
